References of Kauhajoki school shooting case

The shooting at a school in Kauhajoki comes less than a year after the Scandinavian country was shocked by the murder of eight people at a school by a gun-weilding teenager.

Pekka-Eric Auvinen, 18, killed seven fellow pupils and the headmistress at Jokela High School in Tuusula,
30 miles north of the capital Helsinki and around 200 miles from Kauhajoki where the most recent shootings took place.
Auvinen turned the gun on himself while surrounded by heavily armed police in November last year and died later in hospital.

He carried out the killings after uploading a film titled Jokela High School Massacre to YouTube, the video-sharing website.
